[@heliart6155]

Hi! Just been wondering where can I send you request please ! There's one series that I would want to recommend you because although it's filled with very VERY good tracks there's surprisingly not even ONE reaction video on any of them, I don't really care how much time it takes I would just happy that you and more people actually learn about these games and theirs great soundtrack

[@JessesAuditorium]

@@heliart6155 Hi Kevin, it's in the video description 👍

[@heliart6155]

@@JessesAuditorium oh ok thanks !

[@RavinKaito]

This is *sick!!* Thanks!

[@Torenhire]

The goosebumps at 2:09 when it hits with that quintessential, instantly recognizable chrono trigger main melody. Whew. CT and its music are both going to remain timeless! (pun intended)

[@yfxxiii]

Oh World Revolution is such an unfair request lol. It's a very contextual song that is practically built on leitmotifs (Lavos' theme and the main theme of the game specifically).

[@HollowGolem]

Yeah, it does that thing from the _1812 Overture_ where the two lietmotifs are basically fighting each other.

[@AStandsForFrench]

on the other hand, it's genuinely one of the best boss fight themes of all time even without context, so it's a totally reasonable request

[@mallorycarll6280]

The composer Yasunori Mitsuda worked himself ragged on this project. He ended up in the hospital at one point during production. Uematsu has a couple of tracks that he composed in Mitsuda's place. I definitely recommend giving Frog's Theme, Magus's Theme, Schala's theme, and Corridors of Time a listen. Mitsuda also did Chrono Cross (the sequel to Chrono Trigger), the Xenosaga trilogy, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (select songs).

[@seanwallace9269]

The fact that robo's theme and " Never gonna give you up" by Rick Ashley sync up very well by shear coincidence always makes me laugh

[@yotambraunshtein9786]

And the fact that the CT creator said he didn't know about the Rick Ashley song when making this

[@michaelstopher1742]

Fun fact! Two songs from Chrono Trigger were played during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony. Frog/Glenn's Theme and Robo's Theme. They used a lot of different VGM in the opening ceremony.

[@jadekaiser7840]

This song is particularly amazing when you're familiar with the rest of the OST, and with the story. It's a battle between the heroes' main theme and the main theme of Lavos from its first phase, fighting back and forth to try and dominate the song. All the while, aspects of Lavos' third phase music are running just beneath the surface, hinting at the true nature of the beast.

[@rickperriwinkle]

It's been said a few times, but I'm gonna suggest Corridors of Time, it's not overly long but it's pretty essential when it comes to Chrono Trigger tracks. Magus' theme would also be a good choice.

[@beedzee1376]

I agree

[@mathieulessard6212]

isnt this zeal theme?

[@rickperriwinkle]

@@mathieulessard6212 Corridors of Time is, yes.

[@IBAGGaming]

Chrono Trigger has some of the most iconic and best soundtracks you can think of, it's such a well put together game that I was sucked in despite how old it is. It aged beautifully, it plays well to this day. This theme for me really gets the heroics with the fanfare, the desperation with the fast pace and the intimidation with those deep, long tones just right for me.

[@thenonexistinghero]

I think it's very good, but it's not quite best-of-the-best tier for me. Basically 1 tier below masterpiece, IMO.

[@Dhalin]

@@thenonexistinghero I think that's fair. I mean, it _was_ a good game, but it's also an old game and certain design decisions that were made to fit it on the SNES can sometimes hold some people back, especially when it comes to newer gamers that are more accustomed to what modern hardware can do. It is a timeless classic, indeed, but yet it was never perfect. No game is ever perfect. But I'd say it deserves at least an 8/10, and those with nostalgia, 9/10. It's definitely one of the best SNES RPGs, and one of the ones that have aged the best.

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@Dhalin Lufia 2 though... that game is a heavily underrated masterpiece. But people in general don't seem to appreciate great puzzles in RPG dungeons, sadly.

[@Dhalin]

@@thenonexistinghero Lufia 2 is good, but let's not get out the nostalgia glasses just yet. It had a few flaws that prevent it from being really great: One, it was just too darn easy, you had to go out of your way to find challenge, Two, the battle system was a downgrade to Lufia 1's (as was the battle theme). Now, that said, Lufia 2 had some of the best graphics of an RPG in a SNES game, and some of its themes were awesome (the normal battle theme not being one of them), and the puzzles were well-made even though they weren't popular. I am on the fence which I liked better: the mazy dungeons of Lufia 1 that I actually enjoyed (caves should be mazy..) or the puzzles in Lufia 2. I would have to say, though, that every cave having sliding block puzzles made no sense, lol. All that is to say that yes, Lufia 2 was a good game, but yet it had several flaws that held it back.

[@Null_Experis]

Chrono Trigger is one of those essential gems of the SNES era, and it has a lot of good music. If you were to play only one old school SNES era RPG, I'd say play Chrono Trigger.

[@armorvil]

This one sucks though

[@TristamWolf]

Jesse reacted as hard as he could, but in the end... the future refused to change.

[@mr.v1267]

Awesome reaction to the song, I am a large fan of Mitsuda myself, and hearing any song from this game brings me back to my youth. Personally, of Chrono Trigger songs, my personal favorite is Frog's Theme, the epic sound and grandeur of it is always so much fun to listen to.

[@Irisfantasies]

World Revolution is basically something akin a remix of various themes from different eras throught the game which corresponds to a mechanic from Lavos that cast different skills or spells from other eras (this game is all about time travel)

[@aeternusvotum]

Chrono Trigger is also on my "I'm interested in"-list, so as you said, this was really an interesting introduction for me. Especially since you say the "original" video has something that we can't hear here for now, I'm going to check that out right now!

[@cobbil]

Its an old game, but such a fantastic one. Probably the best of the SNES catalogue. Fairly short, too, so its not a massive time sink.

[@jstraziante]

@@cobbil The game is timeless, it's such a complete experience that stands the test of time, which is funny considering the theme of the game.

[@intrfrncdmn]

The panning is really intense for the phase 3 theme, it sounds super cool. That one is just called "The Final Battle" or "Last Battle".

[@shanedouglass3734]

As long as it has the Lavos scream at the start! 😁

[@jordank4889]

Played this game for the first time a couple months ago and it's now one of my favorites ever

[@proudlarry8225]

One of my favorite lines in the game besides just about every joke to come out of Masa and Mune's mouths is when the party is confronted by the reality of Lavos and its influence over the entirety of human history and if Frog is with you he simply responds that "my life retaineth its meaning". It's important to maintain the value of your life in these stressful times.

[@wesnohathas1993]

Here's a fun fact about Chrono Trigger: There are two notable songs in the OST that got left unused in the game's final release.

[@Hadaron]

Singing Mountain and Battle Theme 2, right? Though I do believe the DS version uses both, they’re both really good

[@SirSlush_]

Battle Theme 2 is awesome, it's such a shame it wasn't in the SNES release

[@dou5397]

@@Hadaron yeah, Singing Mountain is a beautiful track, shame we had to wait until the DS to hear it in-game

[@MilesCW]

To clarify a bit about the track: The moment at 2:13 reflects the Chrono Trigger Main Theme (Chrono Trigger/Crono's Theme/etc) and its central story. Everything falls into place now, it's the final showdown. Jesse, you need to hear the main theme to understand the weight of the situation. Or better, watch the animated intro.

[@Skiringen]

It's also a nice touch that it only plays the first half of it in a way, not giving us the response we expect which makes it all the more eerie in a way.

[@TylerNessss]

Its truly insane how crono and lavos theme are brought together in this song, without being cheap, corny or in the nose. Its truly masterfully done. The beginning and the end, melting together. The dark, heavy and ominous fought by a softer, light and heroic theme. The song itself feels like a story almost. This is truly one of my favorite boss tracks ever. Its probably the best ever created. And then you close off the game with to far away times.... chills

[@Sebasu_tan]

OH MY GOD. This I did not expect, but I’m totally hyped now.

[@marcusmajarra]

Although the main composer for Chrono Trigger is Yasunori Mitsuda, it was a collaboration effort with Nobuo Uematsu. And Uematsu, I believe, penned World Revolution. So that it reminds you of Dancing Mad makes sense. FFVI was released in 1994, Chrono Trigger in 1995, both for the SNES.

[@llshinda9508]

I love Chrono Trigger, it feels so different from the other big JRPGs of the time. My favorite track is probably Corridors of Time, and the unreleased Singing Mountain.

[@TGCidolfus0830]

To answer your question around 8:50.. SPOILER The final boss in chrono cross is the time devourer and is lavos... the games are connected VERY much with your ultimate goal is to stop lavos and save a very liked character from trigger in cross in a way im dumbfounded i figured out on my own to this very day. Even some characters are in the next game but only if you can figure out who they are as some wear disguises and played the next game radical dreamers that helps connect the 2 games together even more.

[@stev7074]

My favorite part about this will always be how perfectly it fits in the theme of the main villain, I need to get back into Chrono Trigger to get those other endings, it’s an amazing game that everyone should play if they like jrpgs

[@pietrom.4846]

Frog's theme and the tyrano lair theme are awesome too

[@jstraziante]

Mitsuda is my favorite Japanese composer aside from Soken. Check out "Town of Twilight" from Shadow Hearts: Covenant and/or "Battle Theme" from Xenosaga Episode 1 to hear more from him. For other great music from Chrono Trigger, it's really hard to narrow it down because the entire soundtrack is just amazing, but I'd go with "Corridors of Time" and Schala's Theme. Really been enjoying your content, glad you're doing well!

[@TheZenaku69]

Lavos is the main boss in the game, and this plays during combat with it, I loved Chrono Trigger, it had like 15 different endings depending on when you beat it. Square makes great music.

[@pailofstars]

Now Jesse has to check out the Chrono Trigger opening too!

[@timothyharwood1941]

Thank you for your reaction. I've recently found your channel and I've been enjoying your videos.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

Uematsu did touch some of the OST of Chrono Trigger, but the main composer was Yasunori, who did Chrono Cross's. He got sick during the creation of the game and Uematsu jumped in to help out. Yasunori takes inspiration from all kinds of music all around the world, so you can usually hear stuff you wouldn't think to. X3 He's so great

[@RichardLoganBaker]

Man, Chrono Trigger takes me back! Still to this day the music melodically is phenomenal. If it was redone as a modern composition people would just be blown away by the awesomeness. The great thing about these older compositions is that even with everything going on, the melody always cuts through clear, which is how people can remember them so well all these years later!

[@Juskaey]

Glad to know you got to hear the panning, it makes such a difference in listening to the track! Sad that it wasn't a version with the Lavos noises in it though 😂They really add to the extra-terrestrial vibe. Love that your interest has been piqued even further, Trigger's OST is 100% gold and still holds up so well 27 years later (the gameplay, graphics, and art are equally as timeless).

[@dfeyder]

3:34 Lavos is a nexus in time. this monster is everywhere at once, so elements from everywhere in the game fluid into his theme song.

[@lanereynolds4567]

Every-when, but yeah.

[@Varizen87]

Jesse, my friend... I have a ton of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross suggestions... Let's start with a simple suggestion of "The entire OST" for Chrono Trigger. I will make some more manageable suggestions seriously in a minute, but let's talk story and history behind the OST for Chrono Trigger. There are 2 composers: One you know and love, Nobuo Uematsu. However... he was brought in to FINISH the OST. He was not the primary composer. He was brought in on short notice to replace Yasunori Mitsuda who almost killed himself working on this OST. Yasunori Mitsuda was originally a sound engineer for Square Soft (Square was later bought by Enix to make the RPG Giant you know today Square-Enix). Mitsuda really wanted to be allowed to compose music though. After working on Secret of Mana, where he was allowed to help the composer there write a few tracks, he was given his shot to compose an OST of his own. That was Chrono Trigger. During that time, he put so much pressure on himself to succeed so that he would get future opportunities he worked non-stop. In Japanese Culture, it's not really unusual for people to sacrifice health for work, but Mitsuda went too far. He started coughing up blood from over work and not eating, and was hospitalized. By that point he had composed about 80 to 90% of the OST but Uematsu was brought in to compose the last few tracks or put finishing touches on tracks Mitsuda had composed but had not finished. With all that said... This is one of the greatest OSTs in gaming. My personal favorite tracks are Battle With Magus, Tyran Castle, Corridors of Time, and Schala's Theme. Oh, and some notes on this track: It's the final FINAL boss theme. It should sound Alien because Lavos is a world destroying star fairing parasite that sucks worlds dry, spawns and sends the spawn to destroy new worlds. Chrono Trigger is also a game that involves time travel to deal with this treat. And what I've spoiled isn't anything you don't learn a few hours into the game. It's an incredibly game that holds up 25 years later.

[@confitao]

I live this fight: it is the final boss and (spoilers) he has consumed the dna of every powerful creature ever conceived in the timelines, and then he uses all their techniques against you. Funny shit is that you already defeated them all, so you already know how to defeat it. The music just adds to the whole experience using the leitmotif of the game plus some incredible mixtures of sounds of all important timelines. Fucking nailed it.

[@Dhalin]

And then, you beat this and 2 minutes later, Ayla one-shots the phase 3 fight with a critical hit if she's Lv99. Derp. A little context: there's 3 enemies in the final fight, and one of them has super-high defense, but

[@SonicTheHedgehog17]

God, the trumpets in this are just fantastic!

[@shanedouglass3734]

Ah, getting chills and flashbacks of one of the best times in my life. Such an intense fight. I can't wait for you to hear the scream of Lavos in the Final Battle.

[@SirSlush_]

Not the first track I would have expected from Chrono Trigger but this one is really fantastic. Was expecting maybe Secret of the Forest, Magus Unleashed or Corridors of Time.

[@FunkyFjord]

There's so much utterly amazing Chrono Trigger music to check out I couldn't even tell you where to start. Corridor's of Time? Honestly just any of it after this.

[@Gavy20]

What's going on is the fight to literally save the world from being ended.

[@skithee]

The Chrono Trigger soundtrack was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda... with help from Uematsu =D This is end, end, END game boss music. ifl MES

[@Revaks]

goddamn, the memories.

[@proudlarry8225]

Juskaey you've done me a great service by requesting this one.

[@cnkclark]

Needless to say this song brings in significant musical motifs from earlier parts of the game.

[@ninjafox1344]

The start totally reminds dancing mad. But then it changes an picks up a more heroic tone.

[@esanchez47]

Man, this game... this music...

[@Slagomancer]

The whole Lavos musical experience is something else, but this phase is definitely my favorite part.

[@Saihyou]

What a nice surprise! World Revolution and Boss Battle II from CT are two of my favorite game tracks of all time.

[@smichal52]

Nice one Jesse! Please do more chrono trigger if you get the chance, like Corridor of Time, Schala's Theme or Frog's theme. Such an amazing soundtrack :)

[@dooditsprinny]

Chrono Trigger is an absolute masterpiece

[@TarundiMC]

I'm glad you mentioned the panning because I was wondering if that was present in the video you're listening to. It's important to the feel of the song since the effect is so pronounced. The composer is Yasunori Mitsuda who's also known for the Xeno- series as well as Chrono Cross (and a bunch of other games I'm not familiar with) I think the is my first time taking a critical listen to this song, and I never consciously noticed all the leitmotifs used referencing earlier tracks in the game (this is the final boss battle) If you thought this was weird, he made a much more experimental acid jazz arranged album called "The Brink Of Time". While the album as a whole had some hits and misses for me, that version of World Revolution was an absolute hit for me. Might be a fun one to check out on stream at some point Edit: it was "arranged and performed by GUIDO (Hiroshi Hata and Hidenobu Ootsuki)"

[@Gardelain]

One of these days, I ought to go back and replay Chrono Trigger. I never did finish it, young me got hardstuck on the Magus fight and I never saw past him.

[@Dhalin]

It's possible to make Magus the easiest boss fight in the game (without level grinding!). You just need Robo and the sword they sell in Medina Village. Get Robo his AoE heal by beating the blue Nus in the Hunting Range in 65M BC and while you're there, you can get the money you need to buy the sword; trade the animal parts to the villagers to buy weapons and sell the weapons. You don't even need to be overlevelled to do it. I have a video on my channel if you need to see that in action, it's one of the Chrono Trigger ones ("Let's Play Chrono Trigger #4", I'd link it but it seems like linking videos causes YT to auto-delete your posts). With proper setup, it is literally impossible to lose as Robo can out-heal Magus's Dark Matter spell, as long as you don't let him run out of MP.

[@pluto3194]

@@Dhalin Honestly you don't even need to go that far. Just be on level, bring Lucca as your third and make Frog a healbot. For phase 1 just heal when necessary and react to barriers accordingly, and for phase 2 just never attack with Frog and heal off DM damage with 2 heals. Same general concept as your stat with Robo spam healing but with Frog who will almost always have Heal by the time you reach Magus.

[@Dhalin]

@@pluto3194 Yes, but Chrono+Frog X-Strike does far more damage (if you get Chrono his Demon Blade sword) than anything Chrono+Lucca could possibly put out. In the 2nd Phase, X-Strike does upwards of 700 damage per. Magus usually only gets time to cast Dark Matter once, maybe barely twice before he's down.

[@pluto3194]

@@Dhalin I find Magus usually dies somewhere around the 3rd DM cycle when I play through. Slightly less damage output but it cuts out the need to do some very boring grinding. Honestly if you have any sort of plan for phase 2 going in Magus is fairly easy. I'd say Slash is the hardest of the 4 Fiendlord's Keep bosses.

[@Dhalin]

@@pluto3194 Actually, very little grinding at all. You can check my channel for a let's play up until that point. If you know how to reliably spawn Nus (they give *30* AP or whatever it's called a pop!), you can get Heal Beam (AND the Demon Blade!) in about 10 minutes IIRC.

[@Blackwing02]

While Nobuo Uematsu did do a few tracks for this game, World Revolution was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. Chrono Cross is a semi-sequel to Chrono Trigger as it takes place after ONE of the many endings ro this game. Yes there is more than one ending.

[@SapphireDragon357]

Oh I used to have a small playlist of Chrono Cross music (which is a loose sequel to Chrono Trigger; they're technically connected, but share very little) but I don't remember the names of any of my favorites. So of course, we could just go with "Yo, you gotta check out Time's Scar, the main theme" and leave it there for now.

[@InsanityReborn]

Chrono Trigger in a nutshell (don't worry about spoilers, this is witnessed and explained within like the first chapter of the game) Big-ass super-alien gonna crack open the planet and literally rain fire to kill everything on the world. Abuse time travel and kill it before it can do that. (Also figure out WHY it's doing that but who cares about that part) But yeah it does have a pretty solid OST. Corridors of Time for some reason stood out to me in particular.

[@Sekainoowaride]

Get them Epic SNES MUSIC BOI!

[@dumbfoundedkiryu9468]

Still one of the best rpgs with a God tier soundtrack

[@RandallHidalgoS21allas96]

Best game ever... Everything in Chrono Trigger is perfect.

[@lorospact]

Man, I hope someone has him Listen to Magus' theme from this game, AKA The Black Wind Howls.

[@Dhalin]

Dude, I remember when I first played CT, how hard and epic Magus was. But, once you get well-acquainted with the game, you can make him such a pitifully easy boss fight, without overlevelling with some proper setup. All you need is a robot (who would think to bring Robo to Magus, anyway?) and a sword that is only sold by descendants of Magus's worshippers (poetic justice). Get said Robot some training so he can use his AoE heal, and.... well. Magus ends up being the easiest boss in the game, literally impossible to lose to him unless you do it on purpose.

[@ZombyDragon]

This game is rich with amazing tracks which I'm sure others will shout out (or already have), but I'd have to say that "The end of time" is my favorite. It's the track that made me want to live in that world.

[@nerdzone]

You've gotta hear the battle music from 7th Saga as well.

[@blenderpanzi]

Maybe the percussions want to symbolize a half broken clock? It would be fitting.

[@HappyBell92]

I believe you are thinking of Uematsu, He did not do this song but he did do a few songs for Chrono Trigger like Silent Light, Primitive Mountain, and Burn! Bobonga!

[@rawrharhar]

This is a great song, but there is some context lost on why this song slaps if you haven't played the game. Thanks for the vid :)

[@TGCidolfus0830]

This song very well captures the tension you as the player and the characters would be feeling at this time with the fate of the world hanging in the balance with hints of different themes you experienced throughout the game and times... and time that is literally being shown to you in the background as the boss progresses... and when the boss suddenly starts using his full power that can start one shotting your party members the theme intensifies further. The game has a spiritual sequel currently in the form of a free mobile game... if you are unaware would check out another eden.... the game is a gotcha game, but paying is not needed and the music in the game is just shy of final fantasy levels.

[@Dashawn2007SigmaBlood]

1:13 - When Humanity Finally Fights Back.

[@PSI-BEP]

Great video! If I could make a suggestion, could you check out "The Crusade of Gods" from Inazuma Eleven? This game's ost is really good, and really underrated, and most importantly, it was composed by the same person who composed Chrono Trigger's OST!

[@seekittycat]

I heard this OST like 20 years ago, I can still hear every track in my head. This is probably a weird intro since it's a mesh of a lot of different themes.

[@samakechijowo]

"What is going in right now?" Uh... boss battle, final one? Phase 2? EDIT : I love watching reactor listening to vgm i know without knowing anything then grasping for context.

[@Dhalin]

Oh, wait until you hear Phase 3, though I forget what it was called.

[@Relkin109]

That's weird, seems like the version we (not Jesse's song version since he mentioned this effect) got to hear didn't have the constant fast synth like beat going from ear to ear.

[@DLane814]

chrono trigger is a game that's widely considered to be ahead of its time, and honestly has aged the best of all SNES games. it is a true gem.

[@jevichrono]

Chrono Trigger music has a lot of coverage over time period, so it's definitely worth checking out. Might I suggest also as well listening to the old Monster Hunter Music. Especially the Main theme: Proof of a Hero

[@mr.mystere4999]

If you do decide to give the game a go, I would probably recommend the DS version of the game over all the other ones. It feels cleaner and more organized than the SNES version, both in music and in dialogue. (Unless there is a better version that is. I have not played it in a long time.) You're in for a real treat when you get started. This game's entire OST is just that good. The game itself also has a good story worth experiencing, and is designed for NG+ with its multiple endings.

[@grima4734]

I still don't get how the SNES sound chip is capable to play such masterpiece

[@masterlucarion]

God this song is good

[@shade6421]

If I may suggest an ost, I would love to see you react to Asuras wrath in your belief

[@yotambraunshtein9786]

This one plays at the final boss of the game

[@StewNWT]

Oh my GOD dude you have to play Chrono Trigger. Do it on emulator if you have to. A lot of people on this comment board are going to recommend music from this game, chief amoung them "Corridors of Time', which is one of the pinnacle of video game music, but here me out first. I cannot advise you strongly enough NOT to listen to Corridors of Time (or much more of this soundtrack) without playing the game first and hearing it in game. Because as most gamers will tell you, there has rarely been a moment more powerful or transformative than suddenly encountering the place and time in the game where you first hear this track, and it is an awe inspiring, transcendent moment. It's the kind of thing that stays in your memory for years to come. And I say that without hyperbole. Love your channel

[@menosay1912]

Cross is the 3rd game in the series.

[@Varizen87]

You are TECHNICALLY Correct, sir. For those unaware, The Radical Dreamers was never released State side, and it was more of a interactive novel, and Chrono Cross uses it as a base for its story... To me, Radical Dreamers is more like a 1.5... Cross is the 2nd game, 3rd installment I would argue. Especially since Radical Dreamers isn't canon although the DS version of Trigger kind of sets up to make it relevant... it's... confusing. Either way... We need another Chrono Game.

[@Ilwenray85]

The first video game I played and left the bar maybe too high for the rest, sadly. FF6 was the only other in SNES that could match it for me. With the years I can appreciate "Treasure of the Rudras" for the creativity in spell mechanics or "Romancing Saga 3" for the uniqueness of each game run, but still are below Chrono Trigger.

[@amayapapaya1048]

Probably gonna be a while if you ever get to it, but Lunar's a beautifully scored game. Here's Luna's Boat Song from that game. Highly recommend: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rl7Sln6dfN5ld7s

To fully appreciate this track you need to listen to the whole OST. Or just play the game. This track pulls from several parts of the game, as does the boss fight.

[@sanyr80]

2:45 that look on your face reminded me there's a really good video from 8-Bit Music Theory that discusses how weird the game's soundtrack is from a nuts and bolts perspective. Worth a look. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6uqooFnj7R4gLM

Think you can take a listen to Megaman X- Spark Mandrill Stage theme?

[@JessesAuditorium]

Already know that song ^_^

[@westonmeyer3110]

Same composer as Xenoblade.

[@temporalwolf7054]

Chrono Cross is a sequel to Chrono Trigger, but in the loosest sense possible. Trigger is one of the best JRPG's on the SNES. Character and enemy designs by Akira Toriyama, music by Nobuo Uematsu, and one of the best time travel related stories I've ever seen, with quests spanning thousands of years, putting something down in one era, traveling to the future to see how it's grown, etc. As you probably guessed, this is indeed a boss theme, won't get too specific just in case you decide to check it out for yourself, but one of the cool things is how it uses leitmotifs. For instance, the segment starting at 3:59 is part of the main theme. The main theme being this vast sweeping adventurous song that really sets the stage for traveling through time, juxtaposed against the frantic nature of the rest of the song really ratchets up the tension for the fight.

[@jstraziante]

100% on the nose except Mitsuda is the composer, not Uematsu (though he did contribute a few songs when Mitsuda fell ill).

[@dud5606]
